Burlesque at Beaumarchais NYC, Project Explorer travel videos fundraiser. Qwiki: How to avoid getting sick when traveling?
Thanks to all my NYC Pirates who supported the ProjectExplorer.org fundraiser! We raised around $2000 to go towards the low-income school visits program. (Keep reading for photos and my new travel tips how-to video.)
We gathered at Foursquare’s SoHo office for the event.

The office was filled with games. Cris gives ping-pong a whirl.
I am very grateful to everyone who came, and hope to see you all again soon.
A pleasure to see friends from high school to today!
After, I reunited with Dances of Vice’s Shien Lee at Beaumarchais.
Every Wednesday night, she hosts Nuit Blanche burlesque at the French restaurant. The performers are sassy yet classy — corsets, sailors — and put on a tantalizing show. (Above image courtesy Dances of Vice)
PS: Thanks for the huge response on my first Qwiki video about keeping colored hair healthy! Here’s a new one.

How to Keep Colored & Dyed Hair Healthy: Qwiki video. Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron, Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener Review.
Hello, new hair color… raspberry and apricot! My super-stylist, Isolde, put in layers of Joico K-Pak Color Intensity. Parts are highlighted with bleach, and my natural black remains underneath.
For a pin-up style like this, you absolutely need a professional flat iron like Karmin G3 Salon Pro. I tested one from Beauty Stop Online, and the results are notably better.
A flat iron is one of the most versatile tools because it can shape, straighten and curl.
(I’m wearing a panda dress gifted by Bros Products, and zombie hair clips from Kreepsville 666.)
The Karmin G3 Salon Pro comes in a Gothic Rococo box and zip-up case. Basil Farrow sniffs it out.
Why is this a pro iron? It’s made with pure tourmaline ceramic plates, the best on the market. Tourmaline heats fast and evenly, and adds negative ions for smooth, sleek hair.
My hair requires high heat, so I was happy that the Karmin dials up to 460 F. The microchip temperature control maintains consistency and prevents damage.
Your hair is like Humpty Dumpty: once it’s damaged, you can’t put it together again. Especially for those with colored hair, I say invest in a quality hair iron with pure tourmaline, like the Karmin G3 Salon. You can find more pro haircare, nail and makeup products on Beauty Stop Online.
PS: People always ask me, “how do you keep your hair in good condition, when you always bleach and color it?” I explain in a Qwiki video: genetics, professional hair stylist, high-quality hair tools, and not over-washing. Watch my presentation above and on Qwiki.
I leave you with my Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, in a sombrero. Ole!
